Chapter 108

The smaller countries naturally thought that the other side wanted to hide, believing that their fighting strength could not compare with their own, while the larger countries came to the opposite conclusion.

This Otherworld is likely plotting something, and what they're plotting is definitely not a trivial matter.

There are few users of True Magic in this world, but many who understand it. Theresa's statement that "she has been investigating traces of the Otherworld, but they are always being erased by people" is enough for them to conclude that the Otherworld has been paying attention to and even interfering with the direction of their world, and is secretly plotting something.

Otherwise, why are traces always found? If you didn't do anything, why are there traces? And why try to erase them?

The feeling of being watched, like a thorn in someone's side, gripped everyone. This feeling of being targeted, and possibly targeted for a long time, with a high probability that the other party has already planted a trap on their side, is intolerable for any leader.

The already quiet space became icy cold.

After a long silence, the Shenzhou Representative spoke again, "Now that Schicksal has the means to travel to that world, is there a plan for exploration?"

The problem remains the same: no matter how much you say, it's all in vain without a solution.

"Unfortunately, as I said before, everything on the other side is unknown, and we cannot offer any solutions in the face of the unknown."

Theresa frankly stated, "This is also why I am standing here now. I need to gather the strength of the world to formulate an action plan for the next exploration and to deploy the first exploration team as quickly as possible."

Chapter Ten: He Became a Ming Person.

Such a significant matter could not be resolved on the same day it was raised. However, due to the bombardment of major news brought by the Mandate of Schicksal, the tension between countries decreased sharply. Although some were good and some were bad, they were not stupid and knew when to betray and when to unite.

Although this matter could not be resolved on the same day, driven by the unease of being watched from behind, a plan was devised on the second day: the Valkyrie of Schicksal would lead an expedition team from eighteen countries to explore the Otherworld, to learn about its customs, culture, and strength.

Since this was their first trip to Otherworld, none of the countries immediately organized heavily armed militias. Moreover, given the Valkyrie's abilities, they were already several levels stronger than most armed militias.

And the chosen location for traveling to the Otherworld... is Japan.

Few people were surprised by this, after all, Japan is now basically a one-man show of Schicksal. Despite the fact that the titles and organization names have a strong Western religious flavor, the chosen venue is Japan, a small island nation.

However, most people just muttered about it and didn't take it too seriously.

Another day passed amidst the intensive preparations.

Today is Monday, and it's also Amber's first day of school registration. A lot has happened in the past two days. One of them is that Raiden Mei's identity has finally been revealed, and she has also received an admission notice from Moonlit Forest through Schicksal's arrangement.

Another thing was that Amber, through Schicksal, intentionally or unintentionally reminded Xiang's father not to be easily deceived recently.

However, these two things are not the most important. What is truly significant is that Amber and Black Amber saved many citizens in Shibuya two days ago. They were highly praised by Schicksal and made it into the newspapers. Some of the people who followed Amber also filmed the whole thing and posted it online.

Two girls who are exceptionally good-looking, incredibly strong in combat, and have a very sweet relationship are extremely popular in this society.

As we all know, after so many years of operation and subtle aesthetic guidance, almost 80% of people's fantasies are Magical Girl. The two most important elements of Magical Girl are beauty and strength. Add to that their innocent personality and adorable interactions, and they are simply the Pro Plus Max version of a 'girl group'.

Therefore, the two young girls, who displayed extraordinary strength and beauty at such a young age, naturally gained the love and attention of many people.

After seeing the video, the store clerk in the Shimokura immediately became the host of the super topic, and used her position to frantically follow Amber on Line, asking about her well-being every day. Although she really wanted to reveal the two of them, the Moonlit Forest and the band, she still refrained from doing so out of a sense of morality.

Although this matter is not exactly a secret, it certainly cannot be kept hidden.

After hanging up on the clerk's impatient progress report again, Amber finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the previous world, she often received attention from the Valkyrie, but Valkyrie were mostly very restrained and few would speak to her so directly and enthusiastically. As for the elves' enthusiasm and directness, she didn't find it hard to accept since they were acquaintances.

Is this what it feels like to have a die-hard fan...?

"If a human being who doesn't understand her own place continues to overstep her bounds, she might die on some rainy night."

A faint female voice came from the side, its dangerous tone sending chills down one's spine.

"... Is it really that much? Although it is indeed a bit too enthusiastic, it is quite normal to frequently confirm the direction in the early stages."

Amber spoke a fair word.

The black-haired girl's eyes were different from the light purple they usually had; they were a deep purple that seemed to shimmer with light, and there was even a faint red tinge deep in her pupils.

"The fact that they added Line instead of leaving a phone number shows that they know that sending messages via Line is the least disruptive option for others."

Black Amber's expression was cold and hard.

"...really."

Amber discovered that Raiden Mei's Character Card, or rather, Character Card like Raiden Mei and Shier, are second only to Möbius in effectiveness when used on Black Amber, since the 'second personality' setting is very suitable for exposing a part of her true nature.

As for Amber's statement that Mei's second personality is unlikely to appear, there are reasons to Black Amber.

That's because there are landmines buried there, so they don't appear often. I haven't had any landmines buried here.

Amber: I can't argue with that.

"So, I hope Kiana can explain her troubles properly next time. I think if the shop assistant truly likes Kiana, she will understand."

Seeing Amber nod in agreement, the black-haired girl immediately smiled gently and then placed the plate on the table, "Alright, after we finish breakfast, we should set off. We can't be late for our first day of reporting."

Wow, that's really easy to switch between...

Amber's expression was strange, and she didn't say anything in rebuttal, quickly focusing her attention on the food.

Rita! I am free!

Having abandoned a healthy diet, Amber devoured fried food, and her unrestrained food intake gave her a great sense of satisfaction. Her three meals a day were much more to her liking than in the previous world.

It's not that Rita's cooking is bad, it's just... those who know, know.

After having breakfast, the two took a car to the entrance of Moonlit Forest.

Unlike most schools, Moonlit Forest, as a 'noble girls' school,' has no running or jumping around, whether at the school gate or inside the school. Everyone has a faint smile on their face, and their greetings to each other are polite and gentle. The atmosphere is nothing like that of a school full of youthful vitality.

Even so, their appearance still garnered considerable attention.

After all, they were the ones who made the newspapers these past two days, and most of the students with connections at home were aware of their admission.

"Greetings." X3.

As soon as the two entered the school gate, someone greeted them with a friendly smile.

This was a trio traveling together. As the first person to approach and greet them, they looked a little curious and nervous.

"Huh...? Good morning?"

Amber felt a little embarrassed to use the word "gui'an," a word she had only seen in anime and never used before. Besides, as Kiana, she couldn't possibly use such a word at this moment.

"Good morning."

Black Amber used the same greeting.

This difference didn't make the students who greeted them unhappy or repulsed. On the contrary, it made the smiles on the trio's faces even brighter. After nodding goodbye, many more people came up to get acquainted with them. This kind of behavior is not uncommon in their social class. When there is no conflict of interest, everyone getting along well is the best relationship.

Amber's expression grew increasingly awkward as she was surrounded by so many people greeting her as soon as she entered the school, before she even stepped into a classroom.

Fortunately, Black Amber handled the situation with ease, her smile remaining dignified and gentle from beginning to end. The contrast between her Yamato Nadeshiko demeanor and her heroic fighting spirit in the video even made many girls blush.

Chapter 11 is very popular.

The young ladies were filled with curiosity about these two new students from the Valkyrie Class, who had been featured in the newspapers and were clearly there. Their curiosity reached its peak after seeing the black-haired girl's perfect manners.

Raiden Mei, I've never heard of the surname Raiden before. But her confident way of speaking and dignified demeanor clearly indicated that she must have come from a wealthy and noble family. Generally speaking, a young lady like her wouldn't become Valkyrie.

But that's not the most important thing.

Although the young ladies greatly admire Raiden Mei's upbringing and manners, believing that such a refined young lady perfectly matches their ideal of a partner, they also have a fondness for girls like Kiana.

A combination of liveliness and beauty alone isn't a great asset, but adding "powerful strength" makes all the difference. Especially the white-haired girl's righteous and responsible demeanor when saving the citizens in the video, coupled with the endearing contrast when interacting with the black-haired girl, is equally appealing to young ladies.

The chemistry between the two when they stand together gives the impression that they are a perfect match.

In particular, when the white-haired girl said "Good morning," the black-haired girl used the white-haired girl's greeting. This unspoken yet mutually understood care fully demonstrates the excellent relationship between the two. Later, when the white-haired girl took the initiative to take on the responsibility of conversation when she was uncomfortable in the situation, it was also the same.

Although the fact that the woman was already taken made the young ladies feel a little sorry for her, they found it very interesting to gossip about.

The paths on campus are not Limitless. Once the two entered the building, no matter how regrettable it was, the young ladies who didn't have a chance to go up could only wait for the next opportunity with regret.

Having escaped the hell of greetings, Amber was pale. She had never imagined that socializing would be so unbearable. In the past, whether in the Jujutsu World or Schicksal, she... didn't seem to have much social interaction. In the Jujutsu World, she had friends to help her, and in Schicksal, she had Rita to help her.

Most of the time, all she needs to do is show a smile.

That's alright then.

After changing into indoor shoes, the two followed the campus map to the Student Council's meeting room. Even the Student Council doesn't hold activities in the morning, so there was only one person in the meeting room at this time.

"Hello, Kiana Kaslana, and Raiden Mei."

The girl, dressed in a neat school uniform and sporting a short, sleek hairstyle, stood up from her seat to greet the two as they entered.

Her tone was calm and rational, and her expression was as unwavering as her tone, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable. "Welcome to Moonlit Forest. Your arrival is a happy event for both Moonlit Forest and you. I am Yashio Rui from Class 1-A. It is an honor to meet you both."

"No need to be so polite, Hachishio-kun. After all, we'll be classmates in the same year from now on, and this isn't a formal occasion."

Black Amber said.

"That's what I mean... I was stuck in traffic outside and couldn't say a word the whole way. If it's like this all day long, I'll suffocate!"

Amber also expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Um... that's just how I talk, and the Student Council is a formal occasion..."

Yashio Rui frowned, thinking that it was their first time visiting the Moonlit Forest, and that she herself was somewhat aware that her personality was not easy for most people to accept, so she tried her best to relax her expression.

However, after realizing that no matter how he phrased it, he couldn't improve the situation, he simply said, "You two can just do whatever makes you comfortable. Moonlit Forest is not a school with strict rules."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony?"

Amber's eyes lit up.

"Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have, as I am the person in charge appointed by the Student Council to help you both understand the school and integrate into your class."

Yashio Rui nodded.

Since the Student Council, the host, had said so, Amber naturally had no more reservations. "I was curious when I came here, why did you go to the Student Council first instead of the teachers?"

"The operating model of Moonlit Forest is different from most schools. On campus, the Student Council is responsible for the vast majority of students' schedules and activities, while teachers' work is basically limited to teaching and answering questions after class."

Yashio Rui replied.

Simply put, the school is basically managed by the Student Council, and teachers only teach classes.

This is normal, since most students in the school have strong backgrounds. Although there are some teachers with considerable backgrounds, most of them don't become teachers.

Although teachers in Japan have a high social status, it is ultimately a capitalist country. Being respected does not equate to being rich, and only those who are rich have a voice.

If teachers are allowed to manage students, some unnecessary trouble may arise if a student becomes dissatisfied.

"I want to join the Valkyrie major. How is it different from being a regular student?"

"Student Council majoring in Valkyrie will spend half of their time on Valkyrie -related coursework."

Yashio Rui was not surprised by this question. Having already prepared her answer, she replied concisely, "But that doesn't mean that Valkyrie major students don't need academic classes. Therefore, we schedule academic classes in the morning and Valkyrie classes in the afternoon. Because the course arrangement is different from most students, Valkyrie major students have their own teaching building and classrooms."

It is reasonable and convincing.

But Amber's expression immediately fell. "Huh? Do I have to study to become Valkyrie?"

"Valkyrie also need knowledge. Although we fight monsters, having more knowledge during rescue operations will help us protect more citizens with greater confidence."

The black-haired girl explained with a smile.

"That's right. The courses we arrange for Valkyrie are mostly designed to enhance their knowledge of first aid, chemistry, and physics, so that Valkyrie can do more things on the battlefield outside of combat."

Yashio Rui nodded.

"Okay, I have no more questions."

Amber scratched her head, then remembered something. "By the way, can Valkyrie major students form bands?"

"Band?"

Upon noticing the keywords, Yashio Rui's expression became much more serious.

"Mei and I wanted to form a band together, although there are only two of us right now."

Amber explained.

"Moonlit Forest does not prevent students from engaging in any activities outside of class. If you two are free, you are welcome to do so."

Yashio Rui said, "But don't forget your responsibilities as a student... Sorry, I said too much."

Her reaction puzzled Amber, but she didn't think much of it.

"Since you two have no questions, let me show you around the campus before the morning classes begin."
